However, there are files in there that are very short (< 1 second) and also just 4KB dummy files that will be recorded over, so much of the time the files selected don't really play back, resulting in silence.

Is there a way to filter by either file size in KB or length of audio file so only the truly salient audio files get selected for populating the umenu?
